So this is a really hard essay, and if you haven’t studied much Kant, I wouldn’t recommend taking it on, as it might be too tough to grasp with such a short deadline.
I’m going to leave a list of all the must have sources down here:
Primary:
1. Kants Critique of the power of judgement – the liminality
(connection between the phenomena and noumena) allows us to wonder whether the
world is what it is because it should be, or whether there is more, he called
this Aesthetics.
–
Preface: judgment exists
between our capacity for reason(pure practical reason; and understanding

10. Book by Burke – he created the sublime
11. Kant, Immanuel. Critique of Pure Reason. Translated by Marcus Weigelt,
Penguin Classics, 2003 – we cant know by just
thinking, we are tethered to see the world and its objects through our senses,
in other words we only get a sense of their phenomena (an object of knowledge,
gathered from empirical(logic gathered through the senses) data and the senses),
as opposed to the noumenon(the thing beneath the phenomena), going of our
senses and empirical data, is subjective, and non universal, it is a bad way to
explore the world. As can be seen, we do not rely on any one mans opinions or
believes to dictate what is real.
12. Kant, I. (2004). Critique of practical reason (T. K. Abbott,
Trans.). – if we only have experience(empirical, and
senses), is there a way we can experience to prove the existence of god,
freedom, and immortality, we then goes on to do this – the liminality(meaning
between the noumenon and the phenomena) of existence, allows us to engage in
the noumenon, this connection allows us a degree of freedom in this world, with
this freedom we can engage in moral duty, we can correspond to the moral
noumenal order

This is the Criteria, and again its a must have:
1. make extended use of TWO of the thinkers(This is mainly just Immanuel Kant, but you can bring in Nieztche, Leyotard, or any of the main socratic philosophers(plato, Aristotle ect) one must
be Immanuel Kant however.
2. cite from the texts provided
In this module, closely analyse your chosen
sources, and adequately
reference each citation;
3. have a clearly stated
thesis in its first paragraph;
4. relate directly to the
topics we discussed in the module
5. refer to at least 2 secondary sources in detail and cite around 6-8
sources in total.
7. 3500
words (10%)
8.
Referencing style: Please use either MHRA, Chicago, Harvard or MLA style;
whichever you pick, however, please be consistent.
9. Explain philosophical terminology(such as
reason, cognition, judgement, beauty, ect)
Also you Kan’t(can’t) reference from this, but it really helps with recapping Kant terminology:
